Vendor Application & Selection Process

The Market at Gibsonville will be using a reviewed application process to ensure a diverse, high-quality, and well-balanced market experience for our community and vendors.

Vendor applications are accepted during a designated application window each season. For the 2026 market season, applications will be accepted February 23 through March 31. Applications are not reviewed or accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Market at Gibsonville is an artisan-focused market. All vendors must grow, raise, make, bake, or create the products they sell. Resale, mass-produced, or commercially manufactured items are not permitted.

After the application window closes, applications are reviewed by Market Administration based on several factors, including:

• Artisan-produced products (grown, handmade, baked, or created by the vendor)

• Product type and category balance

• Product quality, originality, and presentation

• Overall fit with the Market’s mission and community

• Past participation and reliability (for returning vendors)

Due to limited space, not all applicants may be accepted. Some vendors may be placed on a waitlist if a category is full or if additional space becomes available later in the season.

Vendors will be notified of their application status by mid-April, allowing ample time to prepare for opening day on May 9.

Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. The Market at Gibsonville reserves the right to limit vendors by category and to make final vendor placement decisions to maintain a balanced and successful market.
